    To all you graphics heads out there, how do you get a white black white border on your sig. I can't seem to figure it out on mine.

    Sort of like mine? Here's how:

    New Layer > Select entire graphic with rectangle tool > new stroke > 2 px. white > new stroke > 1 px. black.

    CK I tried it, and it didn't work. What options did you use center, inside, or outside? Sorry to keep bothering you.

    Hold up, let me try and explain it more, I'll edit this post after I try it.

    Rectangular Marquee Tool (top left) > Select whole graphic > THEN go to add your new layer > Edit > Stroke > 2 Px. White <u>INSIDE</u> > Edit > Stroke > 1 Px. Black <u>INSIDE</u>

    Should work now.

    Or you can just create a new layer and use the pencil tool, which is how I do it.

    I've tried that for a while, to me it just takes longer and leaves you more room for error. When you mess up you have to undo, it turns into a mess [​IMG]

    Same. But hold shift while you use the pencil tool, that way it makes a straight line.

    EDIT:CK, try holding shift, it makes it so ther isnt errors(it makes it an absolutely straight line)

    That's old school Microsoft Paint tendencies. lol

    Easiest way is the way C.K. described it.

    What I do is make the signature 4 pixels smaller in height and width to avoid cutting off my work. Then when I'm finished I save and open in Paint and then alter the image size (such as 96 x 396 to 100 x 400). Use the small box outline using black color at the corner of the image and expand correctly. Copy and paste as a new image in Photoshop and alter the specs. I don't think that'll be quicker then C.K's suggestion, but it only takes about 15 seconds anyway.
